      A pipe, some lead shot, and the innards of a bunch of fireworks will make you a passable excuse for a shotgun.

        Heck the Japanese made cannons from wood and they...kind of...worked. Of course like your tube of firework option there's a decent chance you'll get to fire it exactly once.

          "Reacting quickly to a shooting in a public place" is more of an American thing than a Japanese thing.
